Besides the WMD's, what other giant lies have Bush & crew told?

[franksumatra]

Hitler always said, the bigger the lie, the easier to swallow and believe.

Saving Social Security? Bringing peace to the middle east? Saving the economy? Actual troop deaths and actual civilian deaths?

If he'd lie to us about a thing like WMD's that never existed, what other monstrous lies has he told we the people?

And you know what the republicans always said under Clinton, one lie is all you get, then you are a congenital liar, and nothing you say can be believed.

1. I will put social security taxes in a lockbox (2000 campaign)

Bush spent the surplus planned for our future for his tax breaks (income, estate, dividend)

[Mz Pip]

2. Social Security is going broke

That's his new bold faced lie. More scare tactics from the group that loves to scare us into going along with whatever they want.

3. Cost of the medicare bill

4. You'd be better off asking what TRUTH have they told.

[Ironpost]

10. Come to think of it, what truths have they told.

I'm kinda' like ole duffus himself right now. I can't think of a thing they were truthfull about.

[Laurab]

11. Yeah the truths would be easier to count

I'm quite sure "The Lies of George Bush" was only volume one, and it certainly didn't contain all of them.

[Dr Fate]

5. "The majority of my tax cut will go to the bottom percent."

"I will not engage in nation building."

"I never said that I was not concerned w/ Bin Laden"

"I never set up a small business tax shelter- Wanna buy some wood?"

"Mission Accomplished"

etc. etc

Google Bush lies and you should get plenty.

The question to ask your Republican opponent is : "Can you name one policy area where Bush has never said somthing that is not true? Betcha cant."

6. 911

12. That they are Christians

Christ wouldn't advocate starting an unnecessary war, or the death penalty or harming the poor with wealthy-protecting policies.

[Helena]

14. Then there's the one about helping America vote.

The "Help America Vote Act," on Republican-owned machines.

13. That Iraq was involved in 911..also...

I believe the death toll among American soldiers and marines is being falsely reported. An anonymous writer on TBRNews.org has brought this up twice. He is referred to as the voice of the White House. While I don't accept this as a reliable source, Barry McCaffrey, in an interview on MSNBC before the election gave numbers much higher at the time than the official numbers (sorry I don't know the date). If it turns out to be true that the numbers have been deliberately and appreciably low-balled, it could bring these people down.

15. "I'm a uniter not a divider"

Also "No Child Left Behind" and the "Clinton Recession"

[s-cubed]

18. No advance warning of 9/11, never thought of using plances

as weapons, flight 93 wasn't shot down, etc.
